He’s not gonna last a year
Pay-per-view that reality tv garbage and pay for your stupid tax cut for billionaires that way
Marco Rubio blew up at Elon Musk at a closed-door Cabinet meeting after the DOGE head reportedly accused the secretary of state of failing to slash his staff.
Musk told the secretary of state—who was seated next to Donald Trump at the meeting—that he had fired “nobody,” *The New York Times* reported, sarcastically adding that the one person Rubio had perhaps fired was an employee of Musk’s DOGE.

So, elon really is running this shit show as Trump sits watching with his arms crossed. Which we learned from the Zelensky oval office meeting is a sign of weakness and stupidity says Maga.
Rubio better stay off 7th story balconies.
Good on you Rubio, but a lil too late to try and save your party when you literally had 8 years to stand against Trump
This is what blows my mind. I was wondering how long it would take for them to come back and fight against this.
You don’t destroy the government, if you are power hungry and your power comes from the government.
I called this a couple of weeks ago and folks here downvoted me —
There’s a ton of corporate research that you can’t just hire a swooper & pooper because the entire organization rebels against it. The book, Strategy Safari, documents it well.
It is also true that department heads take on the roles that they want because they have empire complex — most leaders want to grow their organization, not downsize them.
As department agencies settle into their jobs, they will increasingly push back on Musk on cuts.
Give folks another 4-6 weeks and we’re going to see more and more inner fighting. Trump won’t be able to tame Musk because he is unhinged, so Trump’s going to have to make a decision on how to go about it. Either keep all his department heads (which he needs), or give Leon the boot.
Source: I studied strategic management in graduate school and TAed for a PhD on this point exactly.
Grab your popcorn if you haven’t already …
It is very naive of Leon to think he alone can take on a company of 350M disgruntled ’employees’, with several department heads that are equally as cutthroat as he is.
This boy is meat.

To bad this wasn’t televised.
Mario is trying to get himself fired before he’s told to commit war crimes.
“Matching Musk’s own sarcasm, Rubio reportedly asked whether the DOGE head wanted to rehire those employees so that he could fire them again and take credit.”
Bwahahaha
>The tussle ended with Trump intervening to tell Duffy to hire “geniuses” from MIT as air traffic controllers.
Wow, great idea Donald! Every MIT student’s dream, air traffic control.
Rubio will be the first from this administration to leave and write a book. Then he will make the cable news promotion circuit and be forgiven. Please don’t forgive him
Sold your soul little marco…everyone who joins this little clown car leaves with their reputation in tatters. You deserve it so much too, you spineless little shit.
Looks like they’re finding out that “flooding the zone with shit” also means that you’re sitting in shit for 24 hours a day, since YOU OWN THAT ZONE.
HILARIOUS.
*The president silently watched the back-and-forth, sitting back with his arms crossed. It dragged on for an uncomfortably long time.*
It dragged on just as long as Trump wanted. He lives for this – people fighting for his favor are his catnip. IT will only get uglier.
Boys, boys, calm down – you’re ALL awful.
This is the final, desperate bid of Rubio’s soul to claw its way back before it drowns in the deep dark blackness that is left after he sold his spine and his morals for power.
Shhh, little soul, you have no one coming to save you anymore. Pray for the rest of us.
Every few hours I’m struck by the hammer that is the realization that a foreign-born mega-billionaire oligarch is just casually joining every White House meeting while systematically dismantling our democracy. How is this real? How is everyone letting this happen? Where is the anger and the outrage and the ‘what the fuck’???
Some takeaways. Musk claiming he’s built 3 companies from the ground up and the results speak for themselves is fucking laughable on the surface and outright unfactual.
Tesla he bought into, he didn’t build it. He expanded it and in doing so has created vastly inferior vehicles and his stock is Plummeting.
X he over paid by multiple factors and then absolutely destroyed the revenue of the company. He built nothing.
SpaceX is his only real major company he built. But obviously without government contracts would be no where. And recently is showing perhaps the eye has been off the Ball.
As for Trump… A moronic statement about hiring MIT graduates to be ATC. He knows one gear for “genius” and that is MIT. Just like he only knows one gear for “good” and that is never before seen.
Rubio is so fucked. He thought he’d be the only adult in the room and be a powerhouse SOS. Instead he’s being dictated to by the world’s richest man, a buffoon, and presiding over and having to defend the destruction of the State Dept and the utter ruin of the American reputation, globally. At a trajectory and speed, never before seen.
This is the reporting people need to see and hear. These are the stories Dems should be screaming from rooftops, blaring on socials, and parroting on ever podcaster of even minor note over and over. While also obstructing in Congress and spotlight how these actions hurt real people.
This is a fucking clown show in charge OF America. The monkeys have lit the house on fire, have no idea how to get out, and are spraying each other with gasoline.
Two questions:
Why is an unelected private citizen in a cabinet meeting?
Why is he not wearing a suit?
>The tussle ended with Trump intervening to tell Duffy to hire “geniuses” from MIT as air traffic controllers.
Yep, that’s exactly what MIT graduates want to do. /s
Little Rubio better calm down or he’s not going to make it to 6 Scaramuccis.
Trump: we need to hire geniuses from MIT to be air traffic controllers.
It is scary how much of a simpleton he is.
“The tussle ended with Trump intervening to tell Duffy to hire “geniuses” from MIT as air traffic controllers.”
Guys… Americans… c’mon now.
The man is a complete dolt.
We won’t have an aviation industry at all here soon.
Call your congressman. Demand an intervention.
Imagine being a Republican like Rubio. You watch as the clown that is Trump shows up. You resist, but he beats you. You wallow, try to find a way to come back and beat him, but it’s useless. He wins, and over time becomes more powerful. You accept it, bend the knee, reevaluate all your ambitions, and try to find a role with some power within the clown’s court. It’s not easy, but he gives it to you. And just when you have it, the clown brings in a second clown and gives him power over you.
It’s incredible how much audacity Musk brings to the table these days.
Musk has absolutely ZERO idea of how the Government functions, and is trying his hardest to change the culture to match what the private sector commands.
Rubio is “old world” politics. His entire career has been inside the world of conventional government service. He understands the system and has been playing the game for a long time.
He of all people knows that in the end, the “bureaucracy” WILL prevail. Elon is a flash in the pan. His time in politics will be incredibly short lived. He absolutely will be eliminated at some point, whether it’s Trump, himself, or the average citizen who makes it happen.
